Hastings Half Marathon 2027
The Hastings Half Marathon takes place on 21 March 2027 in Hastings, East Sussex, with events on public roads and a hilly course that finishes along the seafront. The 2027 programme introduces a new two-person relay alongside the main half marathon and a children’s mini run.
The route begins with inland climbing and then descends toward a fast coastal stretch to the finish. Roads are closed on parts of the course until 13:00. The event includes live music and crowd support along the route. Entry includes a bespoke finisher medal, a virtual goody bag and post-race seafront celebrations.
